Review settings.

1 star- Did not like it
2 start- OK, better luck next time
3 star- moderate
4 star- Good
5 star- Excellent, one of the best books I have ever read.

length of time between submission and review: At this time I will say that I will ATTEMPT to have your review done within 2 weeks of the submission date. That of course is subject to change, because I am doing this for no profit (other then the book), and it will depend on how many books I have to review. and if I have papers due for school. For example, if you submit a book during finals week, please expect a little longer turn around. I will however keep you updated by email on the progress of your review.

How my process works:
Please send me your email address because I have a list of questions I would like to send you for the "author interview"
I will keep correspondence with you during the time that I am writing the review, however please do not email me daily asking for a progress report.
I will send you a copy of the review before hand, but Good or bad it will be posted on the blog

I do not promise a good review only an honest one. However I do promise to say something positive about the book. I consider myself a fair person and tend to look on the positive side.

Where I post my reviews:
Here: My blog title is Beyond the Rainbow
I also post video reviews on youtube my channel name is Ozma0810

Note: The reason I post to youtube: I post reviews to youtube because not everyone reads reviews on blogs and not everyone watches youtube. I want to try to take advantage of both audiences.
Keep in mind some of the same information will be shared on both sources.

Well thats about it for my review policy!!

Hi Kathryn. I can't seem to find contact information here, but I have a new Christian YA book I'd like to pitch to you to possibly review. Perhaps you'd be so kind as to contact me? laurels.leaves@gmail.com.

not sure how to contact you so I will just post here as others have done. I would loved for you to review my new title, I have posted some info belowTitle: History's Prisoners book one: Invasion

By James Garmisch (pen name)

50K Dystopian sci fi. Character driven, not dark.

Release date: 8OCT on Amazon and Smash words, they are ready as pre order now.

Moments before his execution, Huan is given a clear choice: infiltrate the Global Resistance—or die, and never see his children again. The Alliance is collapsing, and Huan, a former economist for the worldwide government, knows how it was engineered. History has been reset, the children of dissidents re-educated, and the family unit abolished. The facade of utopia is evaporating. Meanwhile, beyond the city walls, the separated lands are shifting from despair to chaos. Smoldering discontent is about to explode. Huan is neither a soldier nor a spy, but he will have to become both—and quickly—if he is to survive and to save the family that does not know him.

Like these other commenters I am also wondering if you would be willing to review a new book I wrote, Jake's Nature Guide: Rocky Mountains. It is a self published nature guide to the Rocky Mountains aimed at parents and their kids. Basically, I wanted to write a simple book to help parents introduce their children to the wonders of the Rocky Mountains.

My book is small enough to fit in a pocket, written in non-technical language, and well organized to make it easy to use in the field.

It seems like as a parent this book may be a good one for you to review.

I'm wondering if you'd be willing to do a review of my Amish romance series, A Lancaster Love. My pen name is Mary Lingerfelt, and my email addy is straincopywriting@comcast.net. This Amish romance is suitable for women from their early teens up, and would rate about a PG in movie terms. There is no explicit sexual content, no swearing, but some non-explicit treatment of issues such as alcoholism and violence. The book is currently live on Amazon,but if you agree to review it, I will of course give you anything you need. Thank you for the opportunity to apply for a review!
